and three (feminine)
| Root | שלש (sh-l-sh) |
| Core Meanings | three, triad, triplicity, threefold grouping |
| Semantic Range | The cardinal number three; by extension third (ordinal), a threefold measure, thrice, or a triadic grouping depending on context. |
| Conceptual Significance | The number three often conveys completeness, stability, or established pattern in biblical literature (e.g., three patriarchs, three pilgrimage festivals, threefold repetitions), marking emphasis or fullness within covenantal and narrative structures. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to the cardinal number שָׁלֹשׁ (feminine form). Absolute state, feminine singular, used with masculine nouns in standard gender polarity of Hebrew numerals. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form וְ/שָׁלֹשׁ consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") plus the cardinal number שָׁלֹשׁ in its feminine form. The morphology HC/Acfsa indicates a conjunction with a feminine singular absolute numeral. Rendering it as "and three (feminine)" preserves both the additive conjunction and the gender agreement required by Hebrew numerals. |
